TCL and F-Secure Announce Strategic Partnership to Revolutionize Secure Connectivity

At Network X 2025 in Paris, TCL, a global frontrunner in display and connectivity solutions, unveiled its strategic alliance with F-Secure, a pioneer in cybersecurity. The partnership focuses on integrating F-Secure’s cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies and threat intelligence into TCL’s Fixed Broadband (FBB), Fixed Wireless Access (FWA), and Mobile Broadband (MBB) products. This fusion delivers multi-layered, automatic, and always-on protection across devices, safeguarding digital lifestyles without compromising network speed or user experience.

 

TCL, ranked among the top three globally in mobile broadband shipments in 2024, brings state-of-the-art technology including AI, Wi-Fi 7, and 5G-A to its solutions. Its FWA products enable intelligent and ultra-fast 5G connectivity for residential and commercial users. The FBB offerings include Wi-Fi 7 mesh routers and fiber gateways for seamless whole-home coverage, supporting lag-free streaming and gaming. Mobile products like 5G dongles provide portable, reliable internet for remote work and entertainment.

 

Amid rising cybersecurity concerns—where 77% of consumers worry about online safety and global scam losses hit $1.03 trillion in 2024 (Global Anti-Scam Alliance)—this partnership addresses critical needs. F-Secure’s technology blocks malicious connections, detects device anomalies, prevents malware and phishing via URL reputation checks, and protects privacy by stopping tracking and ransomware attacks. Unlike traditional setups requiring manual installation, this embedded security is automatic and unobtrusive.

 

Key highlights of the partnership:

 

Integration of advanced cybersecurity into TCL’s FBB, FWA, and MBB devices to deliver seamless protection.

TCL’s technology leadership in 5G-A, Wi-Fi 7, and AI-enhanced broadband solutions.

Growing importance of embedded security as consumer cyber threat concerns escalate globally.

 

Officials from both companies emphasized their commitment to providing safe, efficient, and reliable connectivity. Jesse Wu, General Manager of TCL Smart Connected Device, highlighted the focus on delivering high-speed, safe broadband with robust user-centric protection. Dmitri Vellikok, VP of Embedded Security at F-Secure, underlined the role of this partnership in shielding users’ personal information through multi-layered cyber defenses.

 

This collaboration represents a significant step forward in raising the bar for cybersecurity in broadband and mobile connectivity, ensuring users worldwide enjoy a protected, uninterrupted digital experience.
